Okay, so change of plans in regards to the ![[info]](../../img/community.gif?v=91.3)
khbigbang. Serial killer AU is still a go, but remember when I mentioned how I wanted to write a siren AU? Yeah, so I'm thinking about merging those two ideas and making this a giant clusterfuck of creepy mythological worlds where monsters are real, the world is exactly like ours, but with aspects of greek/mayan/aztec/egyptian whatever mythology mixed in. Minotaurs are real, domesticated into what amounts to guard dogs, etc. etc. So sirens are status symbols among the rich and powerful, because it was considered a way of proving your worth if you captured one and kept it as some form of 'pet'.
They aren't loyal to you, they're still deadly as all hell, and since they can walk on land if they like, you have to keep them caged in what amounts to a giant aquarium thing. A lot of this is inspired by this picture because the holding cell or whatever relates to this as far as size and atmosphere go. And I'm not even going to pretend that![[info]](../../img/userinfo.gif?v=91.3)
fuzzy_paint didn't have some part in this, because her gorgeous TSN Siren AU will always be the main reason that I love siren!fic as much as I do. I mean, I'm a geek for shark week, and all that, but creepy sirens are my biggest weakness.
As far as the sirens themselves go, kind of like this. They have three rows of serrated shark-like teeth, and the particular breed that Roxas is would have something like a fin-blade along their forearms, plus venomous spines along the base of their spine.
Creepy sirens with membranes across their eyes, deadly, etc. etc. memo to me: rewatch all of shark week, because you want these more based off of sharks than giant dolphins. ANYHOW. Axel is some kind of minor creature, probably a half-something or another, whether it be some kind of demon or something else, but I know I don't want him completely human, just mostly. He's some lowly grunt of the rich guy who 'owns' Roxas. I think I want him as an assassin or something like, bodyguard + the help, etc. But he starts forming a weird friendship with Roxas through the glass of his prison, and eventually they escape and Roxas gets to the ocean, whatever whatever. They start going after the rich and powerful, because Axel likes to play with fire and Roxas likes the assholes because IDEK, they're crunchier or something.
...Do I sound crazy yet? I mean, writing siren fic in celebration of summer is all fair and well, but I'm feeling this world a lot more than I was the generic serial killer AU where my biggest plot device was that Axel is a math geek and ties imaginary numbers with the typical Kingdom Hearts canon of certain people having no hearts, so Axel kills only the people he consider to be 'imaginary' or not having hearts. Or something regarding the Fibonacci Sequence. But um. Yeah. Anyone wanna talk this over with me? Because the amount of world building that's gonna have to go into this fic is ridiculous.
